Customer Rating: Summary: Caution! Comment: I was suspicious of the ridiculously low prices from the 3rd-party vendors, and ordered this unit from Amazon instead. The unit arrived packaged in a small clear plastic bag, with a stapled paperboard top and a computer-printed adhesive label stating that it was for the Cardo 500. However the unit actually inside the bag was NOT the one pictured, and definitely NOT for the Cardo 500.
The connector on the unit looked vaguely familiar, so before I started the return-process, I checked it out with a Cardo 700 that I had loaned to my brother. Sure enough, it fit the 700, so I gave it to him instead of returning it. Customer Rating: Summary: Charger Comment: I purchased this for a friend of mine and she loves it. It not only saves time trying to charge up the Scala 500 at home but she can now charge on-the-go. This is good. Customer Rating: Summary: reliable Comment: I have not had any problems with it so far, and it seems a reliable car charger for the headset. Customer Rating: Summary: Works fine, lasts a long time Comment: The previous customer review was incomplete/flawed. This car charger is perfectly fine for the *current* scala-500 headset. The newer version has a more standard type power connector and does not need the little cradle that the old one came with. Customer Rating: Summary: Terrible. Perhaps useless would be a better word. Comment: This might in fact be a great product. However you'll never get to find out because it is not actually what it says it is. When you buy a car charger for an electronic gizmo you might be expecting that it actually is designed to work with the item.
This car charger says "for the Scala-500 Bluetooth headset and/or adapter". The helpful instructions say "connect it to the headset or adapter, and in no time your device is fully charged and ready to go."
What it doesn't say or indicate anywhere is that it only works with the badly designed adapter that you plug it into when at home and not at all with the headset itself which has no place to plug the charger into. So, since you only get one of these things when you get the headset you have to choose which place to charge the headset. Or, if you're like me and the badly designed tines broke on your adapter you are simply out of luck.
